Why does my powershot SD 1400 IS camera say "lens error, will shut down automatically restart camera" when i try to turn it on?

I've come to the conclusion that it was because I hadn't formatted the new memory card with the camera and I'd already taken a few pictures with it.

Onle 1 was showing. I tried turning it on, and all it says now is, "Lens error, please restart camera." I tried the Hold Menu down for 5 seconds, but that did nothing since it doesn't even turn on.

I was taking photos when suddenly my Canon PowerShot SD 1300 IS IXUS 105 read "Lens error. Will shut down automatically. Restart camera." Then the screen went blank. The lens will not retract.
